-Alien::SDL 0.01 released!!! +Migrating Sol's Tutorial of SDL to SDL_Perl

-
I just code
don't know where it leads
or
how I will get there
I just code


With yesterday's frantic coding to get windows compatibility setup we were left with a very crude way of installing. After some late night hacking I finally came up with Alias's suggestion to have Alien::SDL. All thanks to Alias's  generous access to his windows farm, I was able to make a easier module to install SDL deps on windows. Future plans are in place to get sources and compile them for other platform.Hopefully a SDL perl release will be out soon to use Alien::SDL now.


The above script is in test/testsprite.pl.

Until then you can do:

in cpan
cpan> install File::Fetch
cpan> install Archive::Extract
cpan> install Alien::SDL

and in cmd
pip http://cloud.github.com/downloads/kthakore/SDL_perl/SDL_Perl-v2.2.2.tar.gz


Please post any feedback here.

Enjoy,
yapgh

Sol's Tutorials


+

When I was struggling with SDL C a while ago, someone recommended Sol's Tutorial to me. It had not only help me understand video in SDL, but I believe my code has improved using Sol's code style. I would like to pass these along to fellow SDL_Perl users too. So here is the Ch 02 code of Sol's Tutorial in SDL_Perl. It will be getting more and more Perly as our team hacks on it. There is more to come!
+


+

To use this code you need the new Redesigned SDL_Perl Library


+

Getting SDL Dependencies


+Only If you are on Linux (debian/ubuntu) you need the following dependencies:
+
+
$ sudo apt-get install libsdl-net1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsmpeg-dev libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev 

+On Windows we recommend using Strawberry Perl. It comes with SDL-1.2.13 header files and libs included.
+
+Both Windows and Linux needs to install Alien::SDL
+
+
$ cpan Alien::SDL
** Add sudo to this for Linux
+
+

Getting Bleeding SDL


+The bleeding SDL is on github. Click download on this site .
+
+Extract it and cd into the folder run
+
$ cpan . 
** The dot is needed
+** in Linux you may need to do sudo
+
+Then you can run this script by doing
+
+
$ perl examples/sols/ch02.pl 
+
